1825 My New Daming

Chapter 378 Why don't you declare this battle, it seems like you can't win it! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)
The Pennsylvania-class armored cruiser has four thick, large, and very eye-catching chimneys, which at first glance look like four Optimus Primes.When the pilots of the carrier-based aircraft who launched an attack from the air saw these four "pillars", they inevitably wanted to blow them up.That's what Fengmingshan thought and did, and he yelled on the radio: "Did you see those four thick chimneys? Throw bombs into the chimneys! Let's see who is capable of throwing them in!" "

The group of pilots below are all self-proclaimed "brilliant people". After being provoked by him, everyone turned the nose of the plane to the chimneys and began to dive at a small angle.It is said that it is a small angle, but there are actually 35 degrees to 40 degrees. For bombing, inertia can be used for guidance.

Since the anti-aircraft firepower of the Pennsylvania class is still too weak, it can't play the scene of bombs and rain during World War II at all, so it can't frighten the brave Daming Naval Air Force-this is basically the same as during training!It's just that the hero class that plays the role of the enemy ship is replaced by a real enemy ship.

With the roar of bombs and the rise of fireballs, the four large chimneys of the Virginia class and their surrounding areas suffered, and they were continuously hit by 100 kg armor-piercing projectiles!After all 40 carrier-based aircraft of the Akagi fleet, which is eyeing the Virginia, have completed bombing, the Virginia class has suffered as many as 11 bombs of 100 kilograms, and all of them hit the "chimney area". Of course, Virginia is under the chimney The ship's power area, there are huge steam engines, a large number of coal-fired boilers, thick steam pipes, and coal bunkers full of coal.Except for the coal bunker, the others cannot withstand bombing.

Of course, the armor of the Virginia is still very strong, and the thickness of the armor deck has exceeded 100 mm!If a 100kg armor-piercing projectile hits the armored deck directly, it may not be able to penetrate it.But the four big chimneys are weak points. The skin of the big chimneys is thin, and the bomb will penetrate it once it hits, and then it can fall down along the inner wall of the chimney. Although there are some fences that can block it, they fall from a high altitude. Where can the iron fence stop the 100 kg bomb?Didn't it go all the way down, and finally all penetrated into the power cabin of the Virginia.

Not all the bombs that fell on the Virginia ended up in the power compartment, but five 5kg armor-piercing bombs penetrated all the way into the two steam engine compartments of the Virginia (it has two oversized steam engines), one of which went in 100 pieces, 2 pieces in one cabin! Five bombs exploded in the "belly" of the Virginia. Although the Virginia was not blown open, it blew up the two triple-expansion steam engines into parts, and also ignited engine oil, coal dust, and various other items. Miscellaneous things, sparked a fire.

Although the other 6 bombs did not get into the engine room, they still blew up the area around the four large chimneys, damaged many superstructures, and ignited more than a dozen lifeboats placed near the chimneys, and then caused a fire. !
This is great, the Virginia is burning inside and out, and the fire is burning more and more fiercely, and it is out of control in a blink of an eye, spreading everywhere on this 1.3-ton armored cruiser, and soon Burned the Virginia into a ship of fire.

Because the engine room was blown up and burned, the Virginia completely lost power and burned into a fireship.Although the hull was very strong, there was no intention of sinking, but it had completely lost its fighting power and power, and became a hulk.

The hulked Virginia struggled for about a quarter of an hour, and the desperate Captain Henry had to give the order to abandon ship.
And when the sailors of the Virginia were struggling for the last time, the Iowa, which also belonged to the Pennsylvania class, was also severely damaged by the air force of the Kaga!Kaga's air team chose the long, somewhat empty bow of the Iowa for bombing.A total of 12 bombs were hit back and forth, 4 of which blew through the bow deck of the USS Iowa, blew up the cabin under the bow deck, and also caused a fire as usual.Eight 8-kilogram bombs were hit on the bow main gun turret of the USS Iowa and its surroundings. Although none of these bombs penetrated the turret, they stunned all the gun crew members in the turret and remained around the turret. It started a fire and killed a group of very brave damage crews who tried to put out the fire in the bow.Due to untimely pipe damage, the main gun turret of the bow of the USS Iowa was quickly surrounded by fire. After just a few minutes, because no one opened the sea valve to fill the ammunition depot, the picric acid shells in the ammunition depot finally turned into A huge fireball was fired, and a 100-meter-long hole was directly opened in the side of the Iowa!
Such a big hole, not to mention a [-]-ton cruiser, even the British Super Battle Cruiser Hood on another timeline would not be able to handle it!So before the captain of the USS Iowa gave the order to abandon the ship, the large armored cruiser quickly overturned and disappeared into the waves.
The sudden sinking of the Iowa by an airplane was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the American soldiers who participated in the war.They were the victors 10 minutes ago, pressing down on the 6 state-level fat boats on the sea, 2 of them seemed to be dying, and the 4 ships under them were all smoked.Unexpectedly, just 10 to 4 minutes plus seventy or eighty small wooden planes completely reversed the situation!The four Pennsylvania-class ships that could continue to fight on the sea were severely damaged and sank, and the severely damaged one seemed to be doomed.If you count the Pennsylvania, which didn’t know where to go before, and the Maryland, which was about to be destroyed, the Atlantic Fleet’s battlecruiser unit lost 4 powerful Pennsylvania-class ships at once (in fact, it didn’t lose that much, and the Pennsylvania returned to the base later. ). The loss is heavy!
Thinking of the huge loss on my side and the "rapid sinking" of the Iowa, the remaining two American soldiers on the Pennsylvania class no longer had the fighting spirit. They were all trembling with fright, and there was only one thought in their hearts.

"The yellow peril is terrible, it can't be defeated! Why don't you declare this war?"

American sailors on the Atlantic think this peace is precious, and when they don't want to declare war, there is also a Mexican with sweat on his face and trembling calves at the White House, who is also looking forward to peace.

This person is Gonzalez, the ambassador of the Mexican Empire to the United States. He was called to the White House by the Americans today to "listen to the declaration of war"!

Because the Texas Maritime Self-Defense Force of the Mexican Empire attacked New York yesterday, blew up the stock exchange building, and buried hundreds of dedicated bankers and traders alive, so the American people and capitalists have been thoroughly angered.

Members of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives are also furious-the crime of bombing the Norfolk base is enough to subjugate the country!How dare you bomb Wall Street in New York? This is a crime of genocide!
So the outraged U.S. lawmakers unanimously agreed to destroy Mexico—if this is done, Americans won’t have to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border in the future. But Gonzalez didn’t know the benefits, so he last night They are all making their last effort to kneel down to the United States and beg for mercy. One night, they are begging their parents to sue their grandma.Not only asked for help from the "English father" in the United States, but also went to the Spanish embassy to cry to the Spanish ambassador. Spain is Mexico's "Western father"!Mexico is now also "National Disaster".

However, since Spain was dismantled by a group of American rebels, that day is almost too late, and there is no power to save Mexico's "rebels", so the two Spanish-speaking ambassadors finally hugged each other and cried together, missing the Spanish Empire back then. .If this empire is still there, everyone can still hold together to keep warm. No matter how arrogant the Americans are, they dare not challenge Great Spain!

Great Spain is really in a hurry, and they can go to France next door to send reinforcements-France and Spain are brothers of the Bourbon family. If you don't know how to cherish it, you deserve to be bullied by the United States!
